To maintain waterproof properties
Rubber seals
The rubber seals on the inner edges of the
external connector terminal cover and back
cover protect the FOMA terminal from
water. Note the following precautions.
●
Do not remove or damage the rubber
seals.
●
The waterproof feature may fail if liquids
other than fresh water or tap water at
room temperature (5

C to 35

C) (warm
water, seawater, detergent, chemicals,
sweat, etc.) come in contact with the
rubber seals.
●
Do not open or close the back cover and
external connector terminal cover while
wearing gloves. Keep the covers clean.
Just a small particle (strand of hair, grain
of sand, fine fiber, etc.) on the rubber
seals can cause water leaks. Remove
even the smallest amount of dirt with a
clean dry cloth.
●
Do not insert sharp objects into the gaps
around the back cover and external
connector terminal cover. Doing so may
damage the rubber seals and cause a
water leak.

If the FOMA terminal gets wet
●
If the FOMA terminal gets wet with water
or snow, drain water and wipe the FOMA
terminal with a clean dry cloth. Note that
any water that you do not wipe off or that
remains in the gaps may get your clothes
or bag wet.
* Do not leave the FOMA terminal with water on
it, as doing so may cause a short circuit in the
external connector terminal, stereo earphone
jack or
charger terminal, and cause a
malfunction.
*
In cold climates, water on the FOMA terminal
may turn to frost. Using the FOMA terminal with
frost may cause a malfunction. Do not leave
the FOMA terminal in the cold without wiping
off water.
●
Do not leave your FOMA terminal, stereo
earphone jack and antenna with water
drops on them. The structure of the keys
is such that water will get inside.
However, if water does get inside,
remove any water (see below).
●
If water or snow gets on the FOMA
terminal, wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.
Note that any water that you do not wipe
off or that remains in the gaps may get
your clothes or bag wet.
Removing water in your FOMA
terminal
Using your FOMA terminal with water
drops still on it might cause the volume of
the speaker, for example, to drop.
Also, water might get inside from the gaps
between
the keys. If this happens, wipe off
any water from your FOMA terminal by the
following procedure.
1
Wipe any water off that remains
on the surface of the FOMA
terminal with a clean dry cloth.
2
Hold the FOMA terminal firmly
(as shown below) and shake it at
least 20 times until water stops
coming out. Turn the FOMA
terminal around and repeat.
Grip the FOMA terminal firmly to prevent
dropping it.
3
Hold the FOMA terminal firmly
(as shown below) with the stereo
earphone jack facing downward
and shake it at least 20 times
until water stops coming out.
Grip the FOMA terminal firmly to prevent
dropping it.
4
Pat the FOMA terminal with a dry
cloth to remove any water
remaining in the microphone,
earpiece, speaker, keys, etc.
